The Wisdom of Children

Last night I met an incredible 9 year old boy! Do to all the political hoopla of late and my disappointment concerning election results,
I have been in a bit of a negative mode and I admit, I do not like the
negativity I have been feeling and combative nature it brings out in
me when expressing my views. I believe we all have the right to our
views and opinions, I just don't like it when someone who's opinion
differs from mine tries to shove theirs down my throat. The bottom
line for me is that all I really want is a balance of power and adequate
health care, FAIR taxation, no free rides for those who could work but
won't and supporting our countries people first and then help those in
other countries. Oh, I digress... The 9 year old boy I was referring to
is a reminder to me of what is truly important. This child has been raising funds for St. Judes Children's Hospital in Memphis since he was
5 years old. His Mother told me he gives his birthday and holiday money
to this cause and does so unselfishly! What is the correlation you say?
Finding a cause that is worthy, giving unselfishly and accomplishing
a goal. Our country needs to focus on whats important and do the work
without complaint and argument no matter what your views and do the right thing for the people in this country who have entrusted you with their tax dollars and support. It is really that simple. We can all learn a valuable lessen from many a child if adults would only listen.
